Alfie Potter and Deane Smalley scored the goals which beat Port Vale on Saturday as they continue to keep James Constable and Tom Craddock out of the side.

And the pair, who had rarely played as a front two until the back-to-back victories last week, look likely to line up together again.

Former Reading midfielder Scott Davies made his Oxford bow with a minute to go against Micky Adams' men having signed a deal until the end of the season on Friday and the 24-year-old looks likely to be involved again.

Wilder introduced Andrew Whing at the break for Adam Chapman but confirmed that it was a tactical switch rather than because of an injury to the former Sheffield United man.

And after a second-half display described as 'immense' by his manager, Whing could come into the starting line-up against Steve Evans' men.
